Copying, Copyright and the Internet: The issue of internet Regulation with regard to Copying and Copyright



In modern times the internet has created a whole new world in which people conduct business,entertain themselves and live virtual lives. The means of regulating these activities fall within the ambit of the already established legal framework for everyday non-virtual lives, and therein lies the anomaly.Intellectual property law and the regulation of Intellectual property rights have become a major issue in the context of the internet and is still in the developmental stages as the law grapples with the continuous developments in the area.This book looks at the issues of copying and copyright within the context of the internet. The EU Directives, Regulations and Laws which deal with these issues are examined for their applicability and effectiveness in dealing with the problem of copyright infringement. The American and English systems are also examined for their approach to these issues, and conclusions and recommendations are made based on the findings.



Essays in Caribbean Law and Policy: A Comprehensive Discourse



The issues of Law and Policy which affect the Caribbean go far beyond the widespread conception of a sand and sea paradise. There are real,serious and complex issues in the policy making and jurisprudence which affect the construction of Caribbean life. This book is a collection of essays which discuss various aspects of Caribbean law and policy,ranging from issues in Intellectual Property to climate change, Consumer and Competition law, Private International law and Alternative Dispute Resolution. It discusses practical issues and examples, and proposes solutions to some of the pressing issues in Caribbean law.

Growing Up

So Ive had to put my development on hold for a while. I don't even know how long.

Didn't have enough money this year to go to university so I decided that I'd work for the year, see how much I could save up and see if there's any school that will give me a better scholarship than UofT, although I really do want to go to UofT more than anywhere else in the world.

It's strange, I do the same amount of work as the average person I guess but I make about about four times more than most people do in this country (which still isn't enough to pay for school). I guess I'm payed so much because my jobs can get stressful, the hours are horrible at best and I have some dangerous people to deal with.

It's been a smooth adjustment from school to work. From asking for money all the time to being asked for money all the time.
I can come home and not worry about studying or exams to pass. I can just come home plan my work for the next day then lie down, draw, then go on facebook and spy on random people.

Ok, so I guess I'm not growing up as much as I thought. I have two jobs though, that's a start.

EID MUBARAK everyone :)

International Coastal Cleanup


GuyberNet was indeed thrilled to once again co-ordinate the International Coastal Cleanup here in Guyana. Members of the organization jumped at this task upon hearing that the activity was a data collection one. This data is used to ascertain the type and sources of coastal debris. The high level of enthusiasm and interest in the International Coastal Cleanup lent itself to the co-ordinating process.

A Co-ordinating committee was put in place. It was determined that such resources as gloves, bags, antibacterial soap and perhaps snacks for the volunteers would be necessary. Secondarily, in an effort to encourage participation, trophies for the groups with the largest number of volunteers and certificates for all participants were considered. Letters were sent to business establishments requesting their support in acquiring these resources. Responses were good and saw the supplying of a number of garbage bags, more that three hundred pairs of gloves, antibacterial soap, bottled water and packets of vanilla cookies for participants. Tents and tables and chairs for registration were also made available. From contributions received we were able to secure trophies for the group with the largest number of volunteers and the group with the second largest. The monetary contributions received did not permit the awarding of certificates to every participant but to every group that participated.

GuyberNet enjoys useful associations and networking with a number of youth or community based service groups and governmental and non-governmental organisations. Letters were sent to this organisations inviting there support. This association was useful in amassing a volunteer force. Besides the provision of volunteers we also benefited from a useful partnership with the Pan-American Health Organisation (PAHO). PAHO had been co-ordinating their ‘Cleanliness and Citizenship Day’ activities for the same day as ICC, the 20th September and was also involved in a Solid Waste Sectoral Analysis program. This partnership resulted in GuyberNet being able to play a greater role in taking the data collected at the ICC to the public.

Since data collection was the primary aim of the exercise, a training session was conducted to impart to participants the importance of the data cards. Each group that was expected to volunteer on the day was asked to send a representative. Those present at the training session where taught the proper way to fill the cards in the hope that they will in turn transmit this to the other volunteers. This year GuyberNet paid more emphasis on the reporting aspect of the exercise. As is reflected in the report, a larger number of debris items were recorded. This was due in part to the benefit of the visit of Mr. Trevor L. Benn to Virginia to participate in the ICC Conference. He provided valuable insight into the importance of data collection, an area that was not properly adhered to last year in the exuberance of getting the trash together.

GuyberNet is grateful for the support we received in co-ordinating this activity successfully. The disposal of the debris after it was picked up and accounted for was made possible by private firms. These firms volunteered their services through the Mayor and City Councillors.

The National Anthem of Guyana

Dear land of Guyana, of rivers and plains, Made rich by the sunshine, and lush by the rains. Set gem-like and fair, between mountains and sea, Your children salute you, dear land of the free.

Green land of Guyana, our heroes of yore, Both bondsmen and free, laid their bones on your shore. This soil so they hallowed, and from them are we, All sons of one mother, Guyana the free.

Great land of Guyana, diverse though our strains, We are born of their sacrifice, heirs of their pains. And ours is the glory their eyes did not see, One land of six peoples, united and free.

Dear land of Guyana, to you will we give, Our homage, our service, each day that we live. God guard you, Great Mother, and make us to be More worthy our heritage, land of the free.
